Level 4 puréed dysphagia diet

Method:1. Peel and finely chop 50g of onion and 1 clove of garlic, fry them together in a saucepan with a tablespoon of olive oil, the passatta, spices, bayleaf, and a pinch of salt.
2, Once they start to brown (approximately 10 minutes), add the minced beef and brown for five minutes, add the water and cook for a further 10 minutes on a low heat.
3. Remove the bayleaf and blend - additional water can be added at this point if required - add 5 scoops of Nutilis Clear and blend further.
4. Rinse the rice several times with water to remove as much starch as possible, then boil in water until it is very soft and overcooked, strain and blend the rice with the equivalent volume of water, add 5 scoops of Nutilis Clear and blend further.
5. If you have a small blender it will be easier to blend each serving of rice separately (e.g. blend 150g cooked rice with 150ml water then add 1 scoop of Nutilis Clear and blend further. Repeat three times to make all four portions of blended rice at food texture descriptor Level 4 puréed dysphagia diet).

Hot Sauce

1. Put a clove of garlic and 50g of onion in a saucepan and fry them together with olive oil, add the tomatoes and the chipotle pepper after approximately 10 minutes and fry until soft.
2. Blend and strain the sauce, add 2 scoops of Nutilis Clear and blend further.

Tips

1. Avoid graininess of rice by overcooking it before blending.
2. To achieve a non-sticky texture, wash the rice several times and then blend it with fresh water.

Ensure you complete dysphagia texture checks.
